Manufacturer's description

Fully synthetic motor oil - Shell's most advanced formulation for high performance engines Shell Helix Ultra Diesel uses unique active cleansing technology to help high-performance, light-duty diesel engines operate at maximum efficiency by helping to protect them from power-robbing deposits and wear.

Applications

• Shell Helix Ultra Diesel's fully synthetic formulation offers Shell's maximum protection in very hot and extremely cold climates, and in severe driving conditions.
• Shell Helix Ultra Diesel can be used for modern passenger car diesel engines (without particulate filters).

Performance & benefits

• Helps to protect high-performance engines from power- and performance-robbing deposits. Superior wear and corrosion protection 1
• Helps to extend engine life by protecting surfaces from wear and by helping to neutralise corrosive combustion acids.
• Helps to remove sludge left behind by inferior oils 3 Superior resistance to oil degradation 2
• Helps to maintain protection throughout the oil-drain interval. Low-evaporation formulation 4
• Low oil consumption for less frequent top-up.
• Exceptional low-temperature performanceFaster oil flow for quicker engine warm-up 5
• Approved by car manufacturersApproved for use by numerous makers of high- performance vehicles.
• Long lifeExceptional protection and cleansing, even at the longest manufacturer-recommended oil-drain intervals.
• Compatible with modern fuelsSuitable for use with biodiesel. 1 Compared with API SN specification and based on Sequence IVA and Sequence VIII engine tests carried out at an independent laboratory 2 Compared with API SN specification and based on Sequence IIIG oxidation and deposit tests carried out at an independent laboratory 3 Based on a severe sludge clean-up test 4 Based on NOACK volatility test and equipment manufacturers’ requirements 5 Compared with higher-viscosity oils
